Django Extensions is a collection of custom extensions for the Django Framework.



Getting Started

===============



The easiest way to figure out what Django Extensions are all about is to watch the

`excellent screencast by Eric Holscher`__ (`watch the video on vimeo`__). In a couple

minutes Eric walks you through a half a dozen command extensions. There is also a

`short screencast on GoDjango's Youtube Channel`__ to help show you even more.



Requirements

============



Django Extensions requires Django 3.2 or later.



Getting It

==========



You can get Django Extensions by using pip::



    $ pip install django-extensions



If you want to install it from source, grab the git repository from GitHub and run setup.py::



    $ git clone git://github.com/django-extensions/django-extensions.git

    $ cd django-extensions

    $ python setup.py install



Installing It

=============



To enable `django_extensions` in your project you need to add it to `INSTALLED_APPS` in your projects

`settings.py` file:



.. code-block:: python



    INSTALLED_APPS = (

        ...

        'django_extensions',

        ...

    )



Using It

========



Generate (and view) a graphviz graph of app models::



    $ python manage.py graph_models -a -o myapp_models.png



Produce a tab-separated list of `(url_pattern, view_function, name)` tuples for a project::



    $ python manage.py show_urls



Check templates for rendering errors::



    $ python manage.py validate_templates



Run the enhanced django shell::



    $ python manage.py shell_plus



Run the enhanced django runserver, (requires Werkzeug install)::



    $ python manage.py runserver_plus



Getting Involved

================



Open Source projects can always use more help. Fixing a problem, documenting a feature, adding

translation in your language. If you have some time to spare and like to help us, here are the places to do so:



- GitHub: https://github.com/django-extensions/django-extensions

- Mailing list: https://groups.google.com/group/django-extensions

- Translations: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/django-extensions/



Documentation

=============



You can view documentation online at:



- https://django-extensions.readthedocs.io



Or you can look at the docs/ directory in the repository.



Support

=======



Django Extensions is free and always will be. It is developed and maintained by developers in an Open Source manner.

Any support is welcome. You could help by writing documentation, pull-requests, report issues and/or translations.



Please remember that nobody is paid directly to develop or maintain Django Extensions so we do have to divide our time

between putting food on the table, family, this project and the rest of life :-)
